For a while there I was making all our bread at home. I have lapsed on this a bit, but still make a lot of bread. Here is the recipe I use most often:
Wheaty Flax Bread
Ingredients
Wheaty Flax Bread
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups warm water
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 1/2 cups bread flour or white flour
- 1 1/3 cups whole wheat bread flour or whole wheat flour
- 1 Tablespoon vital wheat gluten, optional, if you want fluffier bread (I usually do not use this)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup ground flax seeds
- 1/4 cup wheat germ or oatmeal or sunflower seeds
- Measure warm water into bowl, add in butter, honey, molasses and stir well to combine. Sprinkle yeast on top and set aside to bloom for a bit.
- Add dry ingredients to bread pan.
- Stir up water mixture and dump into bread pan
- Select basic wheat cycle; press start.
- Once it is mixed up CHECK DOUGH FOR CONSISTENCY -- on different days, different flours can produce different results. You want a nice dough that cleans the sides of the bowl. If it is too wet, add more flour. If it is too dry, add a little more water.
- If using, you can add the sunflower seeds when the alert sounds during the knead cycle so they don't get pulverized, if you want.
- Makes 1 1/2 lb loaf
